In Naomi Jackson’s debut, The Star Side of Bird Hill, two sisters are exiled from Brooklyn to Bird Hill in Barbados after their mother can no longer care for them. Rebecca Dinerstein’s debut, The Sunlit Night, is an Arctic Circle romance between a Russian immigrant raised in a Brighton Beach bakery and a Manhattanite seeking refuge from family problems in a Norwegian artists’ colony.
